I've been searching around trying to figure out how to save Apple's keynote streams to my HD, and it would seem impossible from what I've managed to find, and tried my-self. They stream them in RTSP=Real Time Streaming Protocol, which everyone says can't be saved. How exactally did this guy do it then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXNAG3IxzRs There must be something im missing. Does anybody know how?
Got a tip for us?

QuickTime Pro?
If people can capture and post mirrors up in different places straight after the keynote, this would help as Apple's servers tend to get hammered and I'm sure this year will be no different on that front.

there are also programs that record an area on your screen regardless of the source. Could be very useful for something like this, but don't recall any specific names.
I have QT Pro, but it doesn't seem to be much help, It can save files that start with regular URLs, for example HTTP, but it seams that RTSP is a bit of a bugger. It doesn't save it in Cache as far as I can tell. The URL for the last Macworld seems to be
rtsp://a2047.v1411b.c1411.g.vq.akamaistream.net/
5/2047/1411/2_h264_650/1a1a1ae454c430950065de4cbb2f94c226950c7ae655b61

I think it was last year's MacWorld where Apple had a direct download location for the streamed file of the keynote. It wasn't up for very long, but I think I have it somewhere...
That doesn't explain the WWDC 05 on Youtube though. Mind you I don't necessarily want Macworld 06, just using it as an example
Didn't work. The only http:// link I found in the file after opening with BBedit was just pointing the the Reference file, not the actual QT movie file.
Why not just use Snapz Pro X. Yeah, it's a bit pricey, but you can record anything into almost anyformat that comes up on your screen. Video and audio are synced perfectly, and you don't need a different app to download every different file format out there.
None of which work
No File shows up in the Activity viewer, since it launches it Externally in Quicktime, not embedded in the browser.
None of the hints on that page work for saving RTSP streams(Apple Keynotes), they work for embedded files in a web site. So far It seems impossible to directly download a RTSP stream. That guy on YouTube must have recorded his screen or something.
I'll play..
How about

Well I did that second hint, and it's deffiently downloading *Something* I tried doing this graphically with VLC, but never tried the terminal, since I though it would be the same. It's DLing REALLY slow though ~50KB/s. we'll see what happens when it finally finishes.
EDIT: Didn't work, it saved the audio only, after looking around I found that VLC can not record H264 streams
